When and how should I consume MYCES™ GanoZen™ for the best results?

For optimal benefits, follow these usage instructions:

  • Mix the recommended dosage with 200 ml of room-temperature water.
  • Alternatively, combine with juice or your preferred beverage for added flavor.
  • You can also consume the powder directly by pouring it into your mouth.
  • For the best absorption, take MYCES™ GanoZen™ after meals.

Why is it best to take MYCES™ GanoZen™ after meals?
Medicinal mushrooms like Ling Zhi / Reishi and Lion’s Mane Mushroom in MYCES™ GanoZen™ are dual-extracted and liposomal encapsulated to isolate key bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides and triterpenes and protect the active compounds and ensure better delivery. These compounds are absorbed more effectively when taken after meals due to:

Enhanced Digestive Activity:

  • Food stimulates gastric secretions, aiding in the breakdown and absorption of active compounds.

Improved Absorption of Fat-Soluble Components:

  • Alcohol-extracted triterpenes are fat-soluble, and dietary fats consumed with meals enhance their bioavailability.
  1. Liposomal Encapsulation Advantage:
  • Consuming it after meals leverages lipid absorption pathways, ensuring efficient delivery of the active ingredients into the bloodstream.

By following these guidelines, you can maximize the health benefits of MYCES™ GanoZen™. If you have specific dietary restrictions or questions, feel free to contact our support team or consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Can I mix MYCES™ GanoZen™ with hot water or hot beverages?

Like most powdered functional foods or health supplements, you should only mix MYCES™ GanoZen™ with cold or warm (not hot) liquids, as high temperatures may damage the naturally occurring beneficial components in the formula.

Can I drink coffee after taking MYCES™ GanoZen™? Will it affect MYCES™ GanoZen™ functions?

Yes, you can still enjoy your favourite beverages before or after taking MYCES™ GanoZen™. Just make sure that you cut down the sugar intake and opt for healthier beverages. We would suggest you go for coffee with less or no sugar and skip the milk and creamer to reduce the calories intake. For best results, we highly recommend drinking coffee after 1 to 2 hours of taking MYCES™ GanoZen™ as caffeine in the coffee may interfere with the nutrients absorption.

How does MYCES™ GanoZen™ support overall wellness, especially the immune system?

MYCES™ GanoZen™ promotes overall wellness and supports the immune system through the synergistic effects of Ganoderma lucidum (Ling Zhi) and Lion’s Mane Mushroom. These powerful medicinal mushrooms work together to enhance immune function, reduce stress, improve sleep, and maintain balance within the body.

Mechanism of Action:

1. Immune System Modulation:

  • Polysaccharides:
  • Found in Ling Zhi, polysaccharides stimulate the production of immune cells such as macrophages, T-cells, and natural killer (NK) cells, enhancing the body’s ability to fight infections and abnormal cells.
    (Reference: Cheng S, et al., "Immunomodulatory properties of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides," Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2015.)
  • Triterpenoids:
  • These compounds in Ling Zhi help regulate pro-inflammatory cytokines, reducing chronic inflammation while ensuring the immune system operates efficiently without overactivation.
    (Reference: Wasser SP, "Reishi or Ling Zhi (Ganoderma lucidum): Biomolecular and clinical aspects," International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms, 2005.)

2. Stress Reduction and Adaptogenic Effects:

  • Ling Zhi’s adaptogenic properties regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, reducing stress hormones like cortisol. This creates an environment where the immune system functions optimally.
    (Reference: Paterson RR, "Ganoderma—a therapeutic fungal biofactory," Phytochemistry, 2006.)

3. Antioxidant Protection:

  • Both Ling Zhi and Lion’s Mane contain potent antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and protecting immune cells from damage.
    (Reference: Boh B, et al., "Ganoderma lucidum: Potential for biopharmaceutical applications," Journal of Biotechnology, 2007.)

4. Gut-Immune Connection:

  • Prebiotic compounds in Lion’s Mane nourish beneficial gut bacteria, supporting the gut-immune axis, which plays a crucial role in overall immune health.
    (Reference: Xu X, et al., "Gut microbiota and its interaction with Lion’s Mane Mushroom," Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020.)

5. Neuroimmune Support:

  • Lion’s Mane promotes the production of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which supports brain health and reduces stress-induced immune suppression.
    (Reference: Mori K, et al., "Hericenones and erinacines: stimulators of nerve growth factor synthesis in Hericium erinaceus," Biomedical Research, 2008.)

Comprehensive Benefits:

  • Enhances immunity: By boosting immune cell activity and reducing inflammation.
  • Manages stress: Through adaptogenic properties that promote balance in the body.
  • Improves sleep: By reducing stress and promoting relaxation, further enhancing immune function.
  • Protects cells: Through powerful antioxidants that mitigate oxidative damage.

My health condition seems to worsen after starting MYCES™ GanoZen™, is this normal?

Experiencing mild, temporary symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, or digestive discomfort after starting MYCES™ GanoZen™ may be part of a healing crisis. This is a natural response as your body detoxifies and adjusts to the functional food.

Why It Happens:

  • Medicinal mushrooms like Ling Zhi / Reishi and Lion’s Mane Mushroom support immune modulation and detoxification. The removal of accumulated toxins may temporarily overwhelm the body, causing noticeable symptoms.
  • As the immune system becomes more active, you might experience mild inflammation or flu-like symptoms while your body adapts.

What to Expect:

  • Common symptoms may include mild fatigue, headache, coughing or a temporary worsening of respiratory or cognitive-related issues.
  • These symptoms are typically short-lived and subside as your body adapts.

How to Address These Symptoms:

Start with a Lower Dose:

  • Begin with half the recommended dosage and gradually increase as your body adjusts.

Stay Hydrated and Rest:

  • Proper hydration and adequate rest can support your body during this adjustment period.
  1. Consult Your Healthcare Provider:
  • If symptoms persist or worsen significantly, seek medical advice to rule out other underlying conditions.

Reassurance:

A healing crisis indicates that MYCES™ GanoZen™ is actively supporting your body’s natural processes. If you have any concerns or need assistance, please reach out to us for personalized support.

What is a healing crisis?

A healing crisis, also known as a Herxheimer reaction or detox reaction, is a temporary physiological response that may occur when the body begins to eliminate toxins and restore balance. It is often associated with the initial use of functional foods, health supplements, detox programs, or dietary changes. While the symptoms of a healing crisis can be uncomfortable, they are typically short-lived and indicate that the body is working to heal and detoxify.

Why Does a Healing Crisis Occur?

When health supplements or functional foods like MYCES™ GanoZen™, which support immunity and overall wellness, stimulate the body’s natural detoxification and repair processes, the body may begin to release stored toxins and pathogens more rapidly than usual. This sudden release can temporarily overwhelm the body, leading to symptoms that resemble illness.

Common Symptoms of a Healing Crisis:

  1. Fatigue or low energy levels.
  2. Mild headaches or dizziness.
  3. Digestive upset, such as bloating or mild diarrhea.
  4. Skin breakouts or rashes as toxins are expelled.
  5. Flu-like symptoms, including coughing, muscle aches or chills.
  6. Emotional changes, such as irritability or mood swings.

These symptoms are generally mild and should subside within a few days to a week.

How to Manage a Healing Crisis:

Stay Hydrated:

  • Drinking plenty of water helps flush toxins out of the body more effectively.

Rest and Relaxation:

  • Allow your body the time it needs to heal by prioritizing rest and reducing physical exertion.

Reduce Dosage Temporarily:

  • If symptoms are intense, consider reducing the functional food or supplement dosage and gradually increasing it as your body adjusts.

Balanced Diet:

  • Eating whole, nutrient-dense foods supports the detoxification process.
  1. Consult a Healthcare Provider:
  • If symptoms persist or become severe, seek medical advice.

Scientific Basis of Healing Crisis:

  • Reference: Gaby AR, Nutritional Medicine, 2011.
  • Reference: Herxheimer K, Quarterly Journal of Medicine, 1993.

Important Notes:

A healing crisis is a sign that the body is responding positively to health interventions, but it is not experienced by everyone. If symptoms are severe or prolonged, it is important to consult a healthcare professional to rule out other potential causes.
